KUWAIT: IMAGE MAPPING
New York, 1992 — Underneath an image of a computer screen displaying a map of
Kuwait City, a magazine advertisement from 1991 reads: “Three days after the cease-
fire, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was in Kuwait, rapidly assessing damages.
Using thousands of computerized maps compiled on an Intergraph system. Because
all maps were survey-entered and field-verified, the Kuwait Municipal Database is
one of the most accurate and comprehensive in the world. Never before has such
data been available for planning, recovery and reconstruction.... If you are a con-
tractor planning to do work in Kuwait, find out how the Kuwait Municipal Database
can help you.” 14
